The mountain always looked dark, however the older I got that year, the darker it got. I tried to listen for the music of life that Lacy said is definitely there if your heart's ready to hear it, but all I heard was quiet. Growing up in Virginia's Allegheny Mountains, 11-year-old Charlie York lives at the foot of an endless peak called Angel's Rest, a place his momma told him angels rested before decreasing to help folks. In 1967 his town was an unhealthy boy's paradise...until a shotgun blast killed Charlie's father and put his mother on trial for murder. For mysterious reasons, his mother entrusts his care to a vintage black man named Lacy Albert Coe. Lacy tells simple stories about the good and the bad that compose life's sweetest music. But when Hollis Thrasher, a reclusive Korean War veteran, is associated with his father's death and Lacy is victimized by hate crimes, Charlie hears only silence. It isn't until Charlie embarks on the dangerous midnight journey pitting him against his darkest fears that he finally hears his own song playing out. In this particular remarkable debut, Charles Davis weaves together an unforgettable melody of an mother's love, a hero's go back to the living, and a boy who discovers angels do exist.
